Odour generation is an inherent side product of waste water storage and treatment. Encroachment of developments in the proximity of sewage treatment works increases the risk of adverse odour impact on receptors.
Quantification of individual odorous processes helps operators understand which aspects of their works may be responsible and offers opportunities to find solutions to problems that may exist.

Abstract
Odour generation is an inherent side product of waste water storage and treatment. Encroachment of developments in the proximity of sewage treatment works increases the risk of adverse odour impact on receptors. Quantification of individual odorous processes helps operators understand which aspects of their works may be responsible and offers opportunities to find solutions to problems that may exist. Three UK based sites are used as a case study to compare real world examples and these highlight that variations are expected from site to site. Results also demonstrate how routine odour control system testing can be used to proactively identify performance issues.

This study was performed to evaluate the odour impact of Mechanical Biological Treatment Plant (MBT) of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) located in France.
Wastewater pumping stations sometimes become sources of emission of odours and polluting compounds that can influence on the staff health, the equipment and facilities state and the perception of general public about this activity.
